Seersucker (CLOSED)

Chef/owner Robert Newton hails from Arkansas and brings street cred to contemporary Southern-style dishes that revere local ingredients at this Carroll Gardens eatery. Begin the meal with a box of biscuits ($7–$10) slicked with salted molasses butter. The menu changes daily, but you might find fried chicken with market vegetables and a bourbon-and-vidalia-onion gravy ($24), and a skillet pecan pie ($12 for two).
